Estimated renovation ~€200/m² → ~€38k, so effective price ≈ €175k or €921/m² versus the area median €649/m², making this notably above the local baseline. The listing does not state the property condition or year of construction, though it includes 28 photos and a full room layout.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roomy corner house with attractive mid‑century exterior details and high‑ceiling, well‑preserved tiled interiors — clearly liveable. It needs mostly cosmetic updating (paint, bathrooms, roof/terrace cleanup) and the outdoor space is modest, but the layout and condition make it a realistic, characterful home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €21,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Only one bathroom for a large 7-bed layout.
- Exterior shows staining and rooftop pergola needs cleaning/repair and likely repainting.
- Very limited outdoor space (narrow planted strips / paved terrace).
- Heating/energy systems not shown — check utilities and upgrades needed.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 72/100The area is in the Salento plain. The Adriatic coast is nearby around Torre dell'Orso, San Foca and the Alimini area, with low limestone shoreline, small sandy bays and stretches of pinewood. The Le Cesine State Nature Reserve lies nearby on the coast, protecting wetlands and dune environments. Lecce is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and full services. This part of Salento is known for olive groves, dry-stone walls and pale limestone villages.
